Cross Hospital. When he was examined, it was ascertained that one of
the bones of his shoulder was broken.

Another policeman stated that Lord Waldegrave was very drunk, and,
when his Lordship attempted to resist the police, he was,
accidentally, thrown down on the pavement, and witness picked him up.

Lord Waldegrave: He! he! he! Picked me up, did you? Oh! He! he!
he!

Mr. Conant: This is no laughing matter, I can tell you; and it is
quite improper of you to make it a subject of merriment.

Lord Waldegrave: He! he! he! I beg pardon, but I can't help
laughing.

Mr. Conant asked Evans what he had to say in his defence?

Evans: Why, you see, Lord Waldegrave and me had been supping
together--hadn't we, my Lord?

Lord Waldegrave: Yes, we had.

Evans: And when we went into the public house there, we saw the

The Inspector proved that there was not one word of truth in Evans's
defence as far as regarded the sobriety of Mackenzie. The assault
took place within a few minutes after Mackenzie had come off duty,
and, certainly, before he could have time to get refreshment.

Evans: Silence, sweep, let a gentleman speak. I can get a dozen
oaths for half-a-crown.

Mr. Conant said the assault on the policeman was wanton and
unprovoked, and the matter was further aggravated by the fact that a
person of the defendant's well-known pugilistic powers had chosen to
attack an unoffending party. He should, therefore, call on the
defendant Evans to put in good bail.

Evans: Serve his Lordship the same; for I like to have such a pal.

Mr. Conant directed that Lord Waldegrave should be put back until a
second magistrate arrived.

Mr. Dyer having, soon afterwards, taken his seat on the bench, Lord
Waldegrave was placed at the bar.

Policeman Filmer, C 130, stated that he went with
